A & B
E. all
This part of the brain, when stimulated, leads to the formation of spots or flashing lights.
. Frontal lobe
Parietal lobe

Parietal lobe
Temporal lobe
Occipital lobe
Consisting of repetitive jerking of a particular muscle groups which spreads, involving much of the body within about 2 minutes before dying out:
Simple partial seizure
Complex partial seizure
Partial seizure with 2ndary generalized seizure
Generalized seizure
This type of seizure alters the consciousness and causes behavioural changes:
Simple partial seizure
Complex partial seizure
Partial seizure with 2ndary generalized seizure
Generalized seizure
A seizure that arises from both cerebral hemisphere:
Simple partial seizure
Complex partial seizure
Partial seizure with 2ndary generalized seizure
Generalized seizure
This happens when Focal seizures become generalized and is accompanied by loss of consciousness:
Simple partial seizure
Complex partial seizure
Partial seizure with 2ndary generalized seizure
Generalized seizure
Brief loss of consciousness, with minor muscle twitches and eye blinking:
Tonic clonic seizure
Absence seizure
Myoclonic seizure
Status epilepticus
Febrile seizure
This seizure leads to sudden loss of all muscle tone:
Tonic clonic seizure
Absence seizure
Myoclonic seizure
Atonic seizure
Febrile seizure
Is a condition in which patients experience recurrent episodes of tonic-clonic seizure without regaining consciousness:
Tonic clonic seizure
Absence seizure
Myoclonic seizure
Status epilepticus
Febrile seizure
Which of the following agents would not be an ALTERNATIVE to phenobarbital in the treatment of partial seizures?
Primidone
Carbamazepine
Felbamate
Lamotrigine
Drugs that are especially useful in the treatment of petit mal epilepsy include:
Phenobarbital
Trimetadione
Carbamazepine
Ethosuximide
This anticonvulsant drug has the broadest spectrum of activity:
Valproic acid
Felbamate
Phenytoin
Primidone
Lamotrigine
The pathophysiologic basis for antiparkinsonism therapy is:
A selective loss of dopaminergic neurons
The loss of some cholinergic neurons
The loss of the GABAergic cells
The loss of glutamatergic neurons
Which of the following neurotransmitters is involved in Parkinson′s disease?
Acetylcholine
NE
Substance P
None
Principal aim for treatment of Parkinsonian disorders is:
To restore the normal balance of cholinergic and dopaminergic influences
To reduce dopaminergic activity with levodopa and dopamine antagonists
To increase glutamatergic activity with glutamate antagonists
All of the above
Indicate the drug that induces parkinsonian syndromes:
Chlorpromazine
Diazepam
Levodopa
Carbamazepine
Which of the following drugs is used in the treatment of Parkinsonian disorders?
Phenytoin
Selegiline
Haloperidol
Fluoxetine
Select the agent, which is preferred in the treatment of the drug-induced form of parkinsonism:
Levodopa
Bromocriptine
Benztropine
Dopamine
Which of the following agents is the precursor of dopamine?
Bromocriptine
Levodopa
Selegiline
Amantadine
The main reason for giving levodopa, the precursor of dopamine, instead of dopamine is:
Dopamine does not cross the blood-brain barrier
Dopamine may induce acute psychotic reactions
Dopamine is intensively metabolized in humans
All of the above
Indicate a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor:
Tolcapone
Clozapine
Carbidopa
Selegiline
Which of the following preparations combines carbidopa and levodopa in a fixed proportion?
Selegiline
Sinemet
Tolcapone
Biperiden
Which of the following agents is the most helpful in counteracting the behavioral complications of levodopa?
Tolcapone
Clozapine
Carbidopa
Pergolide
Which of the following vitamins reduces the beneficial effects of levodopa by enhancing its extracerebral metabolism?
Pyridoxine
Thiamine
Tocopherol
Riboflavin
Which of the following drugs antagonizes the effects of levodopa because it leads to a junctional blockade of dopamine action?
Reserpine
Haloperidol
Chlorpromazine
All of the above
Indicate D2 receptor agonist with antiparkinsonian activity:
Sinemet
Levodopa
Bromocriptine
Selegiline
Which of the following antiparkinsonian drugs has also been used to treat hyperprolactinemia?
Benztropine
Bromocriptine
Amantadine
Levodopa
Indicate a selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B:
Levodopa
Amantadine
Tolcapone
Selegiline
The main reason for avoiding the combined administration of levodopa and an inhibitor of both forms of monoamine oxidase is:
Respiratory depression
Hypertensive emergency
Acute psychotic reactions
Cardiovascular collapse and CNS depression
Indicate selective catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor, which prolongs the action of levodopa by diminishing its peripheral metabolism:
Carbidopa
Clozapine
Tolcapone
Rasagiline
Which of the following antiparkinsonian drugs is an antiviral agent used in the prophylaxis of influenza A?
Selegiline
Sinemet
Pergolide
Amantadine
Which of the following antiparkinsonism drugs is an anticholinergic agent?
Amantadine
Selegilin
Trihexyphenidyl
Bromocriptine
